Named for the papelillos tree, Casa Papelillos represents luxury travel at its finest, comfortably accommodating up to 20 guests enjoying family travel, honeymoon vacations and corporate retreats.

Secluded within a tropical, gated enclave of luxury homes in Ranchos Estates at Punta Mita, these oceanfront haciendas were designed by renowned architect, Diego Villaseñor, whose inspired work on Casa Papelillos resulted in a feature in Architectural Digest.

The main beach villa is a 5-bedroom, 11,300-square-foot masterpiece situated on the beach overlooking the Bay of Banderas and Puerto Vallarta in the distance. The Master Suite has a king bed and an attached space used as a sitting room or sleeping area for small children.

Spanish for butterfly, Mariposa is a magnificent four-bedroom oceanfront rental that provides 3,000 square feet of living space. The upstairs has two bedrooms with king sized beds. The two main floor suites have two separate rooms—a bedroom and sitting room.

Casa Papelillios has three infinity swimming pools in an aqua courtyard on two levels, an outdoor, covered Dining Pavilion, a spacious Living Room Pavilion and a Beach Pavilion, all of which offer great views of the Bahia de Banderas and the beach. The Media Room features a 72 high-def TV, games and iPod-ready surround sound system, and SIRIUS Radio. (214 w)
